α-Diaminoboryl carbanions, readily prepared from acetonitrile, stereoselectively convert 2-nitrobenzaldehydes into nitrophenyl (Z)-acrylonitriles. Subsequent reductive cyclization leads to a series of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives. The entire procedure is practically operated in a single flask.

Disclosed are sperm cells or embryos comprising a labeled oligonucleotide bound to a gender-specific repeat sequence. Methods for separating sperm cells or embryos containing a labeled oligonucleotide from sperm cells not containing the labeled oligonucleotide produce gender-enriched sperm cell fractions. The separated fractions are useful in producing offspring of a predetermined sex.

The Src Homology 3 (SH3) domains are small protein-protein interaction domains that bind proline-rich sequences and mediate a wide range of cell-signaling and other important biological processes. Since deregulated signaling pathways form the basis of many human diseases, the SH3 domains have been attractive targets for novel therapeutics. High-affinity ligands for SH3 domains have been designed; however, these have all been peptide-based and no examples of entirely nonpeptide SH3 ligands have previously been reported. Using the mouse Tec Kinase SH3 domain as a model system for structure-based ligand design, we have identified several simple heterocyclic compounds that selectively bind to the Tec SH3 domain. Using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift perturbation, structure-activity relationships, and site-directed mutagenesis, the binding of these compounds at the proline-rich peptide-binding site has been characterized. The most potent of these, 2-aminoquinoline, bound with K-d = 125 muM and was able to compete for binding with a proline-rich peptide. Synthesis of 6-substitued-2-aminoquinolines resulted in ligands with up to 6-fold improved affinity over 2-aminoquinoline and enhanced specificity for the Tec SH3 domain. Therefore, 2-aminoquinolines may potentially be useful for the development of high affinity small molecule ligands for SH3 domains.
